4 Function
4.1 Measuring principle
Fig.1: Measuring principle
The unit operates on the impedance spectroscopy method. It analyses
the electrical behaviour of the media to be monitored in the frequency
range between 50 and 200 MHz. The probe tip generates an electrical
field that is influenced by the level. The nature of the medium as well as
build-up or foam have different electrical properties that are used for the
evaluation.
4.2 Other features of the unit
Streamlined sensor geometry, no blockage of the pipe when unit types with short probe are used,
no pressure loss.
Orientation-independent installation possible.
Defined position of the cable entry for angled sockets when ifm welding adapters are used.

temperature to over 65 °C (149 °F).
wRisk of burns
uDo not touch the unit.
uProtect the housing against contact with flammable substances and unintentional
contact.
uAllow the unit and process adapter to cool down before maintenance.
Before installing and removing the unit:
uMake sure that no pressure is applied to the system and there is no medium in the pipe or
tank. Also always take into account the potential dangers related to extreme machine and
medium temperatures.
The sensor is supplied without installation / connection accessories.
Only use accessories from ifm electronic gmbh! The optimum function is not ensured when
using components from other manufacturers.
Available accessories: www.ifm.com.
5.1 Installation location / environment
Installation preferably in closed metal tanks or pipes.
The sensor must be in electrical contact with the metal process connection.
When installed in plastic tanks, there may be deterioration caused by electromagnetic
interference.
uCheck the function by an application test.
